And most importantly, both LG phones have inferior displays and battery life to both S7 edge and Note7.

Note7 is the smartphone to beat in 2016. Don't care if the recall hoopla got overblown by Apple shareholders who control the media to help sell more iPhone 7s. Note7 still excels from Apple fans' smear campaign.

The only advantage 7+ has is that killer feature of 2x optical zoom. But it loses in several photo and video recording comparisons. The audio quality is still in mono and the front cam is too close. Not wide angle to eliminate selfie sticks. The only area V20 seems to excel is audio. If you are paying over $700, you might as well get the phone that is the best in more areas.

Both iPhone 7+ and V20 have consistently lost in those key areas. Only area Note7 might lose is during speed tests and RAM management. But software is easily correctable with updates and the Note7 replacements supposedly have a software update that improved the speed and smoothness of the early lag.

Snapdragon 820 or the faster, more efficient Exynos, the Note7 is still the smartphone to beat in 2016.
Oh stop your whinnies. The phones are clearly exploding and now your blaming Apple. ?

Bummed about Note 7, 11 Oct 2016So now that I have to return my replacement Note7, what options do I have for a large phone wi... moreYou can go back to the previous note (5 or 4). My preference is still the note 4, the best phone ever made since the note 7 became a fiasco. With the note 4 you will have access to the battery compartment and this phone accepts 128gb of micro SD external card. Sure the Note 5 has a little improvement over the 4, but has a lot of downsides, like not sd card slot, no access to battery, etc.

So now that I have to return my replacement Note7, what options do I have for a large phone with a good battery, stylus, and capable of wireless charging? I don't care too much about camera or screen resolution...Please provide suggestions...

Samsung how do you get this right being one of the leading brands in
the world people go on about apple and other devices yet they dont explode please fix the problem or discontinue the device people dont feel safe anymore and yes it is mnd blowing but not the kind people expect so kindly fix the problem you caused

Just got my replacement Note 7, could have picked it up a few days ago.

The specs on the phone are incorrect with regard to the radio, I can confirm that it does have FM radio enabled and it works. Grab an app and enjoy your favorite local FM station.

The corded earphones act as the antenna. There are workarounds so you can use bluetooth headphones, but you'll need to either plug in the wired ones or locate a 3.5mm antenna that's been properly designed and use a workaround to reroute the sound to bluetooth since it defaults to the headphones when something is plugged all the way into the jack.
